"The biggest misconception that I think people have about Intel is that we are just a tech company that makes chipsets."

What is a cool opportunity or project I've had while working at Intel?

I used to organize the RCG ((Recent College Graduates) Club in Chengdu. All the RCGs could meet and get to know each other. The club is not just a place for fun but also you could learn a lot of things from other RCGs or senior leaders.

What's the most fun experience I've had while working at Intel?

As part of a team building event, we spent two days in Hang Zhou where we visited lots of interesting places and ate a lot of local traditional food.

Do I participate in any Intel networks or volunteer events?

Yes, after the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake I joined the many, many Intel employees who donated and tried to go to the stricken area to help the local people to re-build their houses and teach the children. I really felt tremendous love there, and with love we could overcome any difficulty.

Why do I think Intel is a great place to work?

We have a great team and everyone is very supportive of each others' work. Intel also provides many opportunities for us to enhance our knowledge no matter it is—technical or management.

What do I do when I'm NOT at work?

I enjoy playing football and snooker*. My favorite snooker player is Ronnie.

*Snooker is a cue sport that is played on a large baize-covered table with pockets in each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions.

If I could live and work abroad for a year, where would I go?

I'd like to work in Australia. I like the weather and the seaside!

What's my favorite holiday destination?

Greece is my favorite! Because I'd like to increase my understanding about western culture.
